Real, no place for technically skilled personnel - Senior Systems Engineer RealNetworks Employee Review

The most steeply political environment I've ever worked at, no inter-department communication, tons of finger-pointing. RealNetworks tries to maintain the dot-com feeling that we all loved during the nineties, however, upper management has a corporate outlook that is incompatible with a dot com culture. Re-orgs happen constantly, and the turn-over rate is surprisingly high. There is a ton of legacy systems and no real documentation to support it, and the personnel that originally deployed the solutions are long gone, leaving current employees holding the bag.
